Now Live: Chronic by Alice C. Hart



Chronic
Author: Alice C. Hart
Expected Publication Date: October 13, 2017
Cover Art: Katrina




Brooke Jones is struggling with a chronic disease that few understand and even fewer know how to treat. Between hormone therapy, pointless surgeries, and the copious amounts of medication she’s forced to take, Brooke is nothing more than a piss poor shadow of her former self.

Her diagnosis was the domino that toppled her health, her weight, her attitude, and finally, her dreams. It has consumed every aspect of her life, strained her relationships, and jeopardized her career.

She will tell you things you can’t find in the ‘facts’ or ‘statistics’. She will show what it’s like to be torn apart from the inside. You will witness, first hand, the lengths a woman is willing to go to find relief from the pain.

Hell has a new name. It’s Endometriosis. 


***This book contains adult situations and is recommended for readers over 18 years old. My characters are never perfect nor do they try to be.***


Nobody listened to how I actually felt. I was always being dramatic or overreacting. Weird, I wasn't an actress and I never took drama. People, including my own family, had formed opinions about my behavior and me. 

Living with pain has taken its toll on Brooke before she even learned of her actual diagnosis. From the onset of her first period into her adult life, Brooke has come to dread her time of the month. Once correctly diagnosed it isn't a simple fix and she's on her way either-- so begins the journey of many doctors, prescriptions, and the battle of wills.

What really stood out to me about this book was the writing style. It almost felt as if I was reading someone's diary or watching a movie with commentary on. It was real, raw, and darkly comedic. I laughed with Brooke, felt her heartbreak over certain decisions she had to make, and felt her anguish after every surgery or treatment that wasn't the ultimate cure. Despite snarky co-workers or unsympathetic nurses, it would be impossible for the reader not to connect with Brooke or to even blame her at times for being a little b!tchy. #TeamBrooke all the way!

Although I personally have not experienced chronic illness I felt this book was a very accurate portrayal of the struggles one who does faces and a picture into a real life of supportive friends, a caring partner, as well as the struggle within oneself. Although a fictionalized story reading this really opened my eyes to something I didn't really quite know about previously. 

Highly recommended xx 

Love isn't perfect. It's messy and complicated. It's one of the main reasons for murder, aside from money. People act, say and do some of the weirdest sh!t for love.
